What control's paint event is it that you use, then? Are you using the graphics object that is supplied to you in the event attributes, or are you creating a completely new graphics object? If you don't use the graphics object that is supplied, you will always be drawing to the screen, even when the DrawToBitmap is trying to make you draw to the bitmap. If you do it correctly, there is no need to draw the lines to the bitmap separately. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Not that, i mean lines are there, but as i move other objects (not lines), then they may move over any of the line may be one or more, how to detect that, u need to redraw then. Sameer Sood Microsoft Student partner NIT Durgapur,india

Hi there, Are you using the Windows Authentication mode? Basically, when you run the app in VS 2005 with the built-in web development server and it uses the log-on account which is more power than the ASP.NET process identity. So you can try to configure the aspnet user as below to access the SQL 2005. + You can use the admin account such as sa to open the Server Management Studio + Under the Security/Logins entry, make sure the sameer/ASPNET acount is there. If not, you can right click the item and choose New Login to add the account. + In the Properties window of the selected account, select the Status section, and check the access permission is granted and the Login status is Enabled.
